Wanja’s Food in Gloucester

We came on a dull January day to visit the cathedral and stopped in for a sandwich. I’m so glad we did! Toasted sandwiches were amazing. Fresh ingredients freshly made well stuffed and delicious. Great quality tea and other drinks. It was so good. We came back after our visit for cakes which were equally wonderful. A little gem and literally the best toasted sandwiches we’ve ever had. Interestingly, the day after coming here, we went for a posh afternoon tea costing an arm and a leg at a famous restaurant in Oxford. It did not hold even a tiny candle to these wonderful toasted sandwiches. This was a triumph of an excellent local business, killing it in the face of massive competition from bland, overpriced chains. Bravo!

Found by chance, and popped in to a friendly welcome, and an eclectically decorated establishment. Good cups of coffee and tea, plus tasty cakes.

I only recently discovered this cafe while out walking and I highly recommend it. The entire staff couldn’t be more welcoming and accommodating. There’s a great choice of menu from traditional breakfasts to sandwiches, baguettes, a range of salads and plenty of drinks and cakes to choose from. Although I’m not a fan of the traditional ‘full English’, Anna always serves up something special on request, from toasted sandwiches with unusual fillings, to porridge and pancakes. They do takeaways too and are dog friendly. What more could you ask for? Try it out - you won’t be disappointed!
